A Mother’s Letter to the World

Dear World,

My son starts school today. It’s going to be strange and new to him for a while. 

And I wish you would treat him gently. You see, up to now, he’s been the king of the roast.

But now things are going to be different.

This morning, he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.

To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.

So, world, I wish you would take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him –but gently, if you can.

Teach him that for every villain there is a hero; that for every crocked politician there is a dedicated leader; that for every enemy there is a friend.

Teach him the wonders of books.

Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.

Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder, but never to put a price on his heart and soul.

This is a big order, World, but see what you can do. He’ such a nice little fellow.
